Description:

Ideas about representation, citizenship, and sexuality are represented by images, which are themselves reflective of race, class and gender. What people watch or listen to–music, news channels and radio stations, newspapers, social media and images on television and film– has a strong influence in shaping common beliefs about what American values are and who gets to share and who does not get to share in those values. The continuing discussions about these issues filtered through social media, film and television in the United States are a dialogue that demands visual rendering.
